GEN. Ecovillage. Sieben Linden Ecovillages are intentional communities whose goal is to become more socially, economically and ecologically sustainable. Most range from a population of 50 to 150 individuals, although some are smaller, and larger ecovillages of up to 2,000 individuals exist as networks of smaller subcommunities. Certain ecovillages have grown by the addition of individuals, families, or other small groups who are not necessarily members settling on the periphery of the ecovillage and effectively participating in the ecovillage community. Ecovillagers are united by shared ecological, social-economic and cultural-spiritual values.[1] Concretely, ecovillagers seek alternatives to ecologically destructive electrical, water, transportation, and waste-treatment systems, as well as the larger social systems that mirror and support them.
Definition[edit] In 1991, Robert Gilman set out a definition of an ecovillage that became standard. History[edit] Characteristics[edit] Governance[edit] Books.
